04:47and for us to perform it together live for the very first time.
04:59So would you please welcome my friend,
05:01Cal King.
05:02I love you, too, Mike.
05:18Oh, what is it?
05:18I figured it out.
05:35I was high and low and everything in between.
05:39I was wicked and white.
05:44Baby, you know what I mean?
05:47I was wicked and you.
05:48Till it was you.
05:51Yeah, yeah.
05:53Something went wrong.
06:00I made a deal with the devil for an empty eye
06:06Into a hand and back
06:10But an angel was looking through
06:14It was you
06:17Yeah, you
06:20It's all because of you
06:24You are the reason
06:27You are the reason I wake up every day
06:35Sweet to the night
06:38You are the reason
06:40The reason
06:44In the middle of the night
06:48I'm going down because I don't kill
06:54I want to love you
07:01I'm giving it up
07:03No more running around
07:08Spilling my wheels
07:11You came out of a dream
07:15That you made it real
07:17I know what I feel
07:21It's you
07:23It's all because of you
07:28You are the reason

10:13Oh, yes.
10:35What a thrill.
10:36Well, you know, I've sung this next song many times in the past few months, but it takes
10:52on a special significance tonight.
10:55This is the exact date, 86 years ago, that the mighty Titanic struck that iceberg.
11:03I dedicate this song to the courageous passengers and crew of the Titanic.
11:12Their story goes on.
11:44I feel you.
11:47That is how I know you.
11:50I'm going on.
11:55Far across the distance and spaces between us.
12:06You, I want you to show me no more
12:16Near, far, wherever you are
12:24I believe to the heart that you want
12:34Once more, you open the door
12:43And you'll hear it, my heart
12:48My heart will wander all
13:04I can touch just one time
13:08And last for a lifetime
13:13And I won't let go till we call
13:19Love was when I loved you
13:28One true time
13:30I hold you
13:33And my life will always go on
13:43Near, far, wherever you are
13:51I believe that your heart's gone
14:00Once more, you open the door
14:10And you'll hear it in my heart
14:16My heart will wander all
14:22And you'll hear it in my heart
14:38And you'll hear it in my heart
14:43Hear me, there's nothing I fear
14:49And I know that my heart will go
14:56We'll stay forever this way
15:09You are safe in my heart
15:13And my heart will go on and go
15:39Thank you so very much
15:49When you're down in trouble
16:08And you need some love and care
16:13And nothing, nothing is going right
16:22Close your eyes, think of me
16:31And soon I will be there
16:36To brighten up even the darkest night
16:44You just call out my name

17:04To see you again
17:08Winter, spring, summer, or fall
17:15All you've got to do is call
17:20And I'll be there
17:24And when you've got a friend
17:30That's so good
17:34Oh, if the sky, the valley
17:43Should turn dark before the clouds
17:50And that old north wind
17:54Should begin to blow
17:57Keep your head together
18:06And call my name
18:10I'm out of love
18:12Soon I'll be knocking
18:16Upon your door
18:20You just call out my name
18:28And you know, wherever I am
18:34I'll come running
18:37Running
18:38To see you again
18:42To see you again and again
18:46Winter, spring, summer, or fall
18:51All you've got to do is call
18:56And I'll be there
18:59Yes, I will
19:02Hey now
19:03Now ain't it good to know
19:06That you've got a friend
19:08And people can be so cold
19:13They'll hurt you
19:15They'll hurt you
19:16They'll hurt you
19:18They'll hurt you
19:20They'll take your soul
19:22If you let them
19:24Oh, now
19:26But don't you let them
19:30Yes
19:31You'll just force my hand
19:36And you know, wherever I am
19:41I'll come running
19:44Running
19:45Running
19:46Running
19:47To see you again

20:29Yes
20:31Yes
20:32Do you think I'm a friend?
20:58This is why we write songs.
21:01So you get people like this to sing.
21:16Before we sing goodnight, there's a song that's been associated with me for almost 20 years.
21:22And I've never had the chance to sing it with a woman who wrote it.
21:27It's very appropriate tonight to bring it all home with all of us here to perform with Carole King.
21:33Okay.
21:34Would you forgive me?
21:35Would you forgive me?
21:36I didn't sing this song tonight.
21:37I don't think so.
21:38Would you forgive me?
21:39I didn't sing this song tonight.
21:40I don't think so.
21:41Looking out on the morning rain.
21:43Would you forgive me?
21:44Would you forgive me?
21:45Would you forgive me?
21:46I didn't sing this song tonight.
21:47I don't think so.
21:48I didn't sing this song tonight.
21:49I don't think so.
21:50Looking out on the morning rain.
21:51I used to feel so inspired.
21:53And when I knew things I had to face another day.
21:54Oh, it made me feel so tired.
21:55Looking out on the morning rain
22:02I used to feel so inspired
22:09And when I knew things I had to face another day
22:16Oh, it made me feel so tired
22:23All the day I met you
